Ringside Report - Ringside Pass Season 4
Time to toss caution to the wind! Ringside Pass Season 4 has officially landed in WWE 2K26, introducing tag team legends, a chart-topping artist, and a multi-time AAA Reina de Reinas Champion to the squared circle.
For players who choose to progress through the premium track, 4 new highlight-reel stuffing playable characters will be automatically unlocked right away. Making their return to the franchise are Matt and Jeff Hardy, the daredevil brothers who helped define an era of WWE tag team wrestling with their high-flying acrobatics and insane TLC and ladder match performances. The brothers have not been featured together as a team in over 5 years, and we’re excited to have them back.
Along with the Hardy Boyz return, Season 4 comes with over 40 new moves and taunts, including the Dokugumo Death Drop, Twist of Fate, and Poetry in Motion ‘25.
The brothers were recently face scanned a few months ago to ensure accuracy and fans will notice gear from their surprise NXT run in 2025. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy, when used in a singles match, will also have their “Live for the Moment” and “No More Words” entrance theme songs as well!
For those playing as Jeff Hardy, you’ll also notice that you’re able to select a variant of his model that doesn’t include his signature face paint. Another fun tidbit to intimidate opponents, Jeff Hardy can rip off his shirt by holding the right trigger and down on the D-pad to activate. Check it out below.
Season 4 also features the debut of Jelly Roll, who joins WWE 2K26 as a fully playable character for the first time. A lifelong WWE fan, Jelly Roll has built his crossover into wrestling over the past year, with appearances at WWE events, including back-to-back appearances at SummerSlam 2025 and WrestleMania 42.
Jelly Roll brings his real-world persona into the ring and comes with his unique entrance animation and theme.
Wrapping up the Season 4 roster is Lady Shani, the “Tibetan Princess”. The former multi-time AAA Reina de Reinas Champion is also making her debut in a WWE video game. Lady Shani built her reputation in AAA with a high-flying style that has made her one of the promotion’s top stars.
Throwing it back to the 2000s, premium track players will also be able to unlock Personas of Lita and Jeff Hardy. Both Lita ‘00 and Jeff Hardy ‘00 feature unique gear and themes from their iconic high-flying Team Xtreme days.
